 I love reading stories like Carlson’s because they remind us to recognize faith as a long journey, as something that continues ever on. In life, and especially in faith, things are not fixed, but fluid, not a fortress of carefully hewn and perfectly laid theological bricks, but a flowing river that has swept each of us into its currents. Reading the stories of others not only helps us to better understand our fellow traveling partners; they give us insight and perspective for our own roads.
From Catholic schoolgirl to punk rocker to emergent church planter, Angela Doll Carlson traveled a spiritual path that in many ways mirrors that of a whole generation. She takes us with her on a deep and revealing exploration of the forces that drove her toward Orthodoxy and the challenges that long kept her from fully entering in.

I loved the writing in this book! Especially the last couple paragraphs of each chapter. The poetic flow and the slight repetition of certain phrases really tickled my literary senses. (which is rare for me since I usually read more for the story then the writing and don't really pay too close attention to the writing style).
I loved the humorous buts too. One particular line that made me chuckle was when Angela is describing the rambunctiousness of her sons and how they can't help it because the testosterone makes them do it. Yes I have 3 boys and could totally relate!
I didn't know too much about being Orthodox and still don't know a lot about it. The book is not a teaching tool into becoming Orthodox (I don't think) it is the story of one womans journey within herself in becoming as she puts it "nearly orthodox" since she says she never really gets there it is always a becoming and a road being travelled.
I received this book from the author for my honest review. (
